This whole thing is built on making a biblical protocal into situational conjecture.
What ends up happening with equal authority is that the man,by nature of having his authority removed,would be of course Required to relent in a DIS AGREEMENT since he WOULD NEED TO SHOW HOW HE REALLY IS A MODERN PLAYER IN THE "BIBLICAL" PATTERN.
Well here is the problem.
If we go along with this,then by this logic,CHRIST,would need to be our equal as well,since God forbid,he ever "dominated" us equals.
This is nothing more than UN biblical feminism,prettied up for last days consumption by unsuspecting Christians.
In order for the op to have any traction at all,we would need to throw out the dominion,authority,headship,of Christ over the man,in lieu of a FEAR,that some other diety was/has tainted that biblical concept through abuse of a God given protocol.
Therefore a Modern correction of heavens pattern with the "good intention" that by making man and God Equal we will satisfy a FEAR OF the obscure rareity that Proper treatment was ,in our human minds, thrown out by such abuses of Jesus and his leaders.
Which could easily be made,by forcing human reasoning into the bible.
